1930s US Army 2nd Inf Div shoulder patch, felt on felt, measures 4 X 3.25 inches with embroidered Indian head well centered and NO glow and weighs 0.2 oz. This patch was definitely removed from a uniform because if you shine a flashlight behind the patch, you will be able to see the needle holds along the border. Please consider viewing my other listings and adding me to your “favorites” list as I will be listing many more interesting and unusual items in the future.

1938, ARMY LEVEL PRIZE, BRONZE, RIFLE COMPETITION, INFANTRY, NAMED, w/RESEARCH. This 1938 Infantry Army Level Prize for Rifle Competition was awarded to SGT John B. Morrissey, Company I, 107. SGT Morrissey was born on 30 January, 1908, Pocatello, Idaho. SGT Morrissey enlisted on 21 January 1936. When John Bacon Morrissey was born on January 30, 1908, in Pocatello, Idaho, his father, Harry, was 30 and his mother, Florence, was 23. He had two sons and two daughters with Anna R Morrissey. He died on February 3, 1982, in Aberdeen, Maryland, at the age of 74. These interwar Army marksmanship badges are highly sought after among collectors. We will include printed copies of the research artifacts. This Army level prize consists of three parts. Top bar that indicated either Army level or Corps / department level competition and served as a brooch to affix the assembled device to the uniform. The top bar is squared ended and ornamented with oak leaves, and was always worn with this bronze clasp and an enameled planchet prior to WWII. The top bar or brooch is a pin back with a functional rotating clasp closure. The second portion consists of an intermediate clasp of crossed arms to indicate the type of weapon that was used to earn the award rifle, pistol, or, soon thereafter, automatic weapons. In this case it has crossed rifles. The third, lower piece is a planchet, that when enameled, told the arm or the type of service, in this case, blue for Infantry. The central design is a bow and a pair of arrows. The planchet consists of three concentric designs. 0625 in diameter, displays a compound bow and two crossed arrows, a symbol of marksmanship. Outside of that is a center ring, 015 in width, which displays 13 stars. An oak-leaf wreath executed in bronze surrounds the entire design, making the planchet 1-1/2 in width. The combatant arms had bronze stars with the ring enameled in blue for Infantry. They would be responsible to send the package to you.
Rare Spanish Civil War Admiral Valdes Republican Navy Sailors Hat Cap Helmet. It has hand inscriptions with a sailors log of ports in spain and or battles. This destroyer traveled north with the Republican, including in the battle of Cape Cherchell and later in convoy escort. On July 12, 1937, together with the destroyers Lepanto, Churruca, Admiral Miranda, Gravina and Sanchez Baircáztegui, they maintained an artillery duel with the cruiser Balearic Islands, while the destroyers escorted the tanker Campillo, in which both sides withdrew after an hour of firing, the Balearic Islands, discovering that their cannons were overheating after 50 shots. On March 5, 1939, following the uprising in the city, he left Cartagena with the bulk of the Republican squadron for Bizerte (Tunisia), where he arrived on March 11.
This bayonet was made by Matsushita Kinzoku prior to 1942 when metal scabbards were replaced by wood or leather. As best I can discern the serial number appears to be W323510. The bayonet is about 20 inches long with a 15-3/4 inch blade. The scabbard is 16-1/4 inches long. Since its introduction in 1897 the Type 30 bayonet has seen many variations. This is a Variation D with a fullered (blood-groove) blade, a straight cross guard with a square end, a contoured riveted sandwhich grip, and a birds-head flat-sided pommel. I think that’s everything. The metal scabbard is tube-tipped. Condition is “as found” good. There is some rust but there is plenty of original blueing. The wood grip scales are tight and intact with an aged patina. It appears to be the factory blunt edge. There is no damage except for a few dents to the scabbard, as shown. These dings do not affect bayonet travel. The spring-loaded locking mechanism is fully functional and ready to mate with your vintage Arisaka rifle.
